If the downtown stadium fails, I think the Royals are gone. Nashville will most likely be their next stop. I really doubt if Kansas will check the boxes for the current ownership group. For them it seems to be downtown or bust. That makes it easy for the voters though, many may not like the ideal of an downtown stadium but they will like a downtown stadium in Nashville even less.FangKC wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 4:52 am There will be one measure and one choice. Up or down vote. Teams see what happens. If it fails, there will be talk of Kansas stadiums. Another proposal would then be floated on the Missouri side and a ballot issue. Same deal, up or down vote. If it doesn't pass on the second ballot, Kansas will be in play.
It's because of the Chiefs riding high right now that they won't be separate votes. They won't risk a failed ballot measure. Separate votes will be riskier for the Royals.
Sherman indicating there will be a vote this fall indicates they are building in enough time for a failed vote, and then another measure in the Spring of 2024, and again in the fall of 2024 if there are previous failed votes. The 2024 ballot measure will be for Kansas stadiums.
